Oxbow says: This study examines the role and status of man’s best friend in Iron Age and Roman Britain based on archaeological evidence and iconography. Dog remains from settlements and sacred sites, as well as those deposited alongside human burials, are investigated for both periods to discover what such evidence reveals about the relationship between humans and dogs, the status of dogs, spiritual beliefs associated with them, ritual treatment of dog remains and links to concepts such as fertility, guardianship and hunting.
